CHAPTER 1

ANITA'S POV.

It had been a long day. I didn't like the school I was in. So much work..Attending classes, sitting by myself during lunch time. It had been a couple of months since we came to Forest Road and I didn't feel that I was fitting in quite well honestly. So far I have not made any solid friends. I was always by myself.

What I looked forward to was to go and be with my sister. She was the only one who understood me and the only person that I loved to death. After the death of my parents, she took up the parenting role. Despite me wanting to give up on life, she was my source of strength. She always inspired me to keep going.

I carried my backpack with one hand as I rushed home. This was my turn to prepare dinner and I wanted to be done fast and watch a movie afterwards.

I arrived at the front door and found it open. I didn't mind, I walked in as usual ready to go and have a banter with my sister Emma. She would usually make fun of me that I have never been in love but I didn't care. Deep down I believed that when the right time comes, I will fall in love with the right person.

Seeing a trail of blood as soon as I walked in through the front door made my heart skip a mighty beat.

“ Emma!” I called as I rushed in. So many questions were going through my mind. I hoped that she was safe.

With a history of finding my parents murdered, I could feel the tensions in my bones that made me feel weak and defeated. Honestly I didn't know what I would do if something bad happened to my sister.

She is the reason why I am living. Her strength and bravery is what made me want to try living again.

Emma was not in sight. The gruesome picture of the pool of blood with flies and the foul smell got me scared as I rushed upstairs, where the blood was coming from.

Tracey, please keep her safe.

I hissed to my wolf. We had not been in touch for a long time. My wolf and I were best friends until the day my parents died. After their death, I couldn't feel her anymore. I had tried everything to summon her to come be with me but she had never come.

It was so frustrating. My sister had really tried her best to tell me that soon she will be back but I didn't care at this point. I was a werewolf. My peers were talking to their wolves but there I was, the odd one out. Just like everything in my life, Tracey gave up on me and left me alone to drown in my own symphonies.

I flung the bedroom door open and there she was, completely lifeless. The woman I looked up to, my pillar of strength was completely covered in blood.

“ Emma!” I screamed in horror as I leaned over to her body seeing if I could save her. I cannot afford to lose her, not at this point in time when I really need her the most.

“ The book!” She said feebly after I tapped her to be awake.

“ What book Emma? You are scaring me. Who did this to you? We are new here. Who wants you dead?” I asked her. My heart was pounding so hard on my chest.

“ He did this,” She said before she finally went silent. I shook her, begged her to come to life, summoned my wolf to wake up and help me heal her but nothing worked.

She was gone. She was lying on a pull of blood lifeless. She had so many bumps on her face and a deep cut on her hand. The person who did this to her wanted her dead.

I took a step away from her and went to sit on her bed. Tears started running down my face like water from a faulty tap.

I am young, I have not even found my footing in my adult life but here I am, losing my sister.

I felt a deep pain emanating from the bottom of my heart, the same pain I felt when my parents passed away. She had assured me that we would be safe here but as it turns out, we are not safe here, not anymore.

I cried for a couple of minutes before I recalled that she had mentioned who beat the shit out of her.

I had never been a confrontational person, I had never been courageous enough but for the sake of my sister, I had to go and face him.

My blue jeans and shirt were soaked in her blood therefore I had to change. Danger was still lurking, I didn't want the one who did this to know that they had succeeded in bringing us down. I did not want them to know that their mission was complete. Not in my watch.

I was not in touch with my emotions at this point. I was completely operating on autopilot mode. I couldn't process the fact that I had lost my sister.

I changed to a pair of black leggings and a hoodie before I rushed out of the house. I knew exactly who did this and I was going to confront them.

I took my car keys,got into the driver's seat before I drove off. I took the forest road, drove inside the forest. I was going to see the Alpha.

Alpha Lewis was secretly dating my sister. My sister had mentioned her to me. I had not really met him in person but my sister could not stop talking about how happy he made her feel.

I was thrown to a web of confusion when she went ahead to mention that she was responsible for all this. Love was supposed to make us happy, to save us from the evil of the world. How come that the person that my sister loved the most is the one who completely destroyed her?

She loved him, I have never been in love but I could tell.

I parked my car right outside his office, which was the pack headquarters. It took a few minutes to take a deep breath and try to act calm before I stepped out of the car.

“ How can we help you?” An omega who was manning the place asked me.

“ I want to see the Alpha,’’ I said.

“ Do you have an appointment?” He asked.

“ Tell him I want to see him or else Luna will know the truth,” I said. I was not going to leave anything to chance.

He killed my sister and I was going to destroy him.I was just getting started.

“ What truth?” The omega insisted.

“ If you get to know the truth, you die. I want to see him. Can I?” I asked through gritted teeth and this made him chicken out.

“ Follow me,” He said exactly what I wanted to hear.
